Good Evening Team Boiled Peanuts!
By this time next week we will be relishing in our accomplishment of
completing the Marine Corps Marathon. Hard to believe the marathon is
less than a week away.
I hope everyone was able to complete their final tune up runs this
weekend.
Patrick and I completed our mile repeats Saturday morning in a cold
misty rain.
Couple quick reminders:
If you have not done so please go to the Marine Corps Marathon website
and print off your e-confirmation. You will need this to pick up your
bib, chip and goodie bag at the expo.
If you have reserved a room at the Courtyard Rosslyn you should have
received an email confirmation reminder this weekend. If you are
flying into Washington national you can use the metro-line. There is a
stop two blocks from the hotel. If you arrive early you can ask for
early check-in. If no rooms are available the hotel will allow you to
check your bags so you can go to the expo or explore DC. Rooms are
equipped with refrigerators. The hotel contact information is in the
email if you should have any questions.
If you plan to participate in the Capitol tour Friday Oct. 23rd at
2:30pm please call or email me to confirm. Since we have different
arrivals schedules I don't want to leave a boiled peanut out.
So Boiled Peanuts have a safe week. Remember to relax, pack your
marathon shoes, don't cut your toe nails to short and hydrate.

3 runners die competing in the Detroit marathon

tool goes here DETROIT -- A half-marathoner and two other runners died
during the Detroit marathon on Sunday, organizers said.
Daniel Langdon, 36, of Laingsburg, collapsed at about 9:02 a.m. between
the 11- and 12-mile markers, said Rich Harshbarger, vice president of
consumer marketing for the Detroit Media Partnership.
Rick Brown, 65, of Marietta, Ohio, collapsed at 9:17 a.m., near where
Langdon went down, and 26-year-old Jon Fenlon of Waterford collapsed at
about 9:18 a.m., just after finishing the half-marathon in 1:53:37,
Harshbarger said.
It was unclear whether Brown and Langdon were participating in the
13.1-mile half marathon or the full race.
Harshbarger told the Free Press that there were at least six medical
stations on the race course and that emergency personnel were on the
scene within seconds.
Every runner must sign a medical release form, and they are encouraged
to talk to their doctors before they run the race, Harshbarger said.
"On a day when so many people bring such energy and challenge themselves
to do their utmost, this news is very difficult to hear," said Free
Press editor and publisher Paul Anger said. "Our deepest sympathies are
with the families."
The temperature was about 28 degrees when the marathon started and had
risen to 41 degrees by 10 a.m. Running coach Keith Hanson said he
doubted that the weather had anything to do with the deaths.
"The wind never kicked up," Hanson said. "In my mind, the conditions
were perfect."
Deaths at marathons are relatively rare. The last death at the Detroit
event was in 1994 when a 42-year-old man died of a heart attack after
running more than 20 miles.
More than 19,000 people were registered to participate in the 32nd
Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Marathon on Sunday.
Nicholas Stanko, of Haslett, Mich., took first place in the marathon
with a time of 2:20:24. He said he was inspired by members of the track
and cross country teams at Haslett High who came out to cheer him on.
Stanko and his wife, Theresa, both teach and coach at the school.
"I just tried to give them the best I could," he said. "I ended up just
holding on. You always just hold on by a thread at the end, and my
thread didn't break today so I lucked out."
Sarah Plaxton, of Highland, Mich., was the top female finisher in the
marathon with a time of 2:57:09. The 41-year-old mother of three said
she didn't realize how close she was to the lead runner until supporters
lining the streets told her she was reeling in the leader with less than
a quarter-mile to go.
"I was in shock, actually," said Plaxton, who sprinted across the line
for the win. "I didn't even see her until I turned the corner, and then
I gave it everything I had."

Hey buddy,
Definitely count my group in as 4. We are hoping to time it so we
arrive around 1130-1200 on Friday. If so, we'll probably go directly by
the hotel first and see if we can get an early check-in. As to not
have the car out and around we'll probably ride the metro down to the
Capitol.
My cell is 843-861-1664. We'll hook up once we get there. What time
are you hoping to arrive?
Later buddy. Looks like we are going to have mild weather!!!
Paul

Hey Guys,
Hope everyone has worked out their soreness and kinks. My biggest problem is just being tired. I have had a couple of 3 mile runs but it has been tough.
Just wanted to follow up with everyone on the fund raiser for Vinny. We are right at $650 total in my possession as of this moment (great job!!!). I had a couple folks ask about where to send the money. Also, some have already sent money. I would like to get a final tally to inform Vinny's parents.
- You can send check to me direct: David Partin
Kernersville, NC 27284
- You can send money straight to Vinny's parents:
930 Biloxi Ave
Kernersville, NC 27284
- Make the check out to either "Help Vinny" or to "Sarah DiGerolamo
Please drop me a line to let me know if you have already contributed or if you are sending in the funds. It would be great to break $1000. My direct email is:
david....@caraustar.com
Thanks and God Bless!
